How to sign up?

Registration is based on a first-apply, first-accepted basis.
Register simply by sending an email to gra@nist.gov by indicating the names and number of players.
I also want to bring to your attention that your answer must be 100% sure, because many things like price, teams, game format as well as food will depend on the number of people showing up.

Please also add if you are interested in using the pizza delivery service as mentioned above or if you want to bring your own food. This info is not binding, but it will give us an idea whether we will consider using the service at all or not. We will keep you updated right here once we get a couple sign ups.

Event rules / The Spirit of Friendly "fight"

- The purpose of this LaserTag event is to promote a friendly activity. The spirit of the game is based on friendship and fun, and not on physical dominance or aggressive behavior. At the referees' and GRA board members' discretion, fouls will result in sanctions and possibly exclusion from the game.

- You will learn all the safety rules before the game at 8:30pm during the safety training (remember: you have to be there in advance to get signed up and give us enough time to put the teams together).

- The tournament rules are determined by the GRA board and can be changed by the GRA at any time before or during the event.
